Recent major crash photo?

[diego]

I was looking for a series of photos of a Pro tour rider kissing the
pavement with his face during the sprint taken within the last month or
so. Seemed like rider was in red (Cofidis?) and turned out okay.
Captured in 3-4 frames with the central shot clearly showing face
becoming one with pave. Sick I know but they were amazing shots and
serve a purpose. Anyone know what I'm talkin about and have a URL?

No but close! The one I saw has a clean straight on shot of the side of
his face pancacked to the pavement.

Yow! hadn't seen that one! Almost exactly what I saw, but the kiss was
larger and very clear. Seems to me it was a major pro race within the
last month?
